In response to Stephen's most recent <br />e -mail inquiring status, here is what I understand to be where our agreements are going with the University and planned <br />status of further improvements. <br />1. We are going to issue a one year permit for parking on the Canoe Canal and Walnut street lots. <br />2. For this year the cost will be at $5 per car per game with the understanding if a permit is issued next year the cost will <br />be $10 per car. We will count the cars at the first game and then use that figure for all the games. <br />3. In the Canoe Canal lot there will be an immediate loss of previous parking use due to the sloping performed last month <br />that will not be parked on and in dealing with how the changes will effect internal traffic and parking patterns. <br />4. This winter trees will be planted (hopefully with volunteer help from the CPC) along the north side of the berm that will <br />further reduce the potential area to be used for parking. <br />5. The area was much more rocky than we anticipated. We recently have used both staff and Sheriff inmate work parties <br />to remove the larger rock in order to be able to place mulch down. <br />6. The University is going to paint parking stripes as they have in the past on the Walnut Street lot but not on the Canoe <br />Canal lot. <br />7. The parking use by the University will be limited to staff and vendors with no tailgating nor alcohol allowed in these <br />area. <br />8. Spaces will be signed and reserved by the University for Whilamut trailhead parking in the Walnut Street Lot as has <br />been done in the past. The University will be sure to talk to their parking control contractor to make sure they are aware of <br />this and hopefully will avoid confusion reported to have happened in the past regarding letting Whilamut users in to access <br />these spots. <br />9. We have a contract with Rexius for placing a mulch seed mix both on the Canoe Canal lot slopes and on the overflow <br />parking area. Their current schedule is to do that work on September 18th. This should work well to get seed germination <br />if we have some rain in late September. <br />10. We will review growth success in early spring and reseed and mulch as determined is needed at that time. <br />Please let me know if you need additional information. <br />Thanks <br />Johnny <br />Johnny R.
